Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery Moving to New Facility in Southeast Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) March 20, 2013

Dr. Steven L. Ringler, the most experienced cosmetic plastic surgeon in Grand Rapids, Michigan is moving his medical practice, the Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery, from Grand Valley Surgical Center to a new, state-of-the art office located at 1151 East Paris SE on March 15. Business at the new office will commence on April 2.

An expansion of non-surgical services and general growth of the medical practice were primary considerations for the move.

Dr. Ringler explained, Despite the economic recession, the past three years have been the busiest of my 30 year career. Patients today enjoy having more non-surgical options and minimally invasive procedures when seeking to improve their appearance, and our practice has embraced that trend. We have also had tremendous growth in the number of men seeking plastic surgery, and our geographic reach now expands to all areas of Michigan and into many other states as well.

The new southeast office offers over 6,000 sq. feet of space. The office design is by architect Jeff Visser, construction was completed by Douglas Sumner Builders and interior design by Ashley Cole Design. Sophisticated and comfortable for both men and women, the office provides complimentary on-site parking and two private entrances to the practice. The expanded space allows for many of the non-surgical services as well as the Hair Restoration Institute, of which Dr. Ringler is the founder and medical director.

Dr. Ringler has been in plastic surgery practice in Grand Rapids for 30 years, with the last 15 devoted exclusively to cosmetic surgery. His surgical specialties include; facial surgery, breast and body contouring.

Dedicated to teaching, Dr. Ringler has served as director of the Grand Rapids plastic surgery residency program for 12 years. He has also chaired an international plastic surgery conference, the Virgin Islands Workshop for 18 years, which has been the springboard for many of his expanded services and surgical techniques.

Dr. Ringler explains, Plastic surgery is such an exciting field, because it continues to evolve. The international faculty of the Virgin Islands Workshop provides leading edge concepts when it comes to innovation, so I often come back with ideas for new surgical techniques or technology to offer my patients.

Grand Rapids Plastic Surgeon Introduces Exilis Elitefor Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) June 05, 2013

For those seeking a non-surgical solution for body contouring and skin tightening, plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Ringler of the Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery offers good news. This week, Dr. Ringler introduced the new Exilis Elite, a radiofrequency treatment device that can melt fat and tighten the skin in as few as two, one -hour treatment sessions.

Dr. Ringler explained, Many patients today are not ready for surgical solutions for skin laxity or fat reduction and the Exilis Elite offers a great option for those patients. We have also found the Exilis Elite to be an effective option for those patients who want to enhance or prolong their surgical results from a facelift or liposuction.

The Exilis Elite is a second- generation radiofrequency (RF) device that debuted at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in March 2013. Expanding on the initial Exilis device, the Exilis Elite offers a 90Watt facial applicator hand-piece as opposed to the previous 50Watt device. The additional power reduces treatment time for patients from 4-6 sessions down to 2 sessions with the Exilis Elite. The Elite offers advanced cooling and allows for layering of the RF energy at various depths.

The Exilis Elite treatment works by heating the underlying structure of the skin with the RF applicator while simultaneously cooling the surface of the skin. The device melts fat and also tightens the skin by helping to stimulate collagen. The procedure is more comfortable than many other skin-tightening or fat reduction devices currently on the market. The patient will experience a sensation of heat on the skin, but built in safety devices in the Exilis Elite ensure that accidental overheating of the skin is not possible.

Dr. Ringler, who has adopted many non-invasive cosmetic services to his plastic surgery practice, is excited about the new technology offered by the Exilis Elite. We have many patients who seek non-invasive procedures for improving skin- tone and fat reduction. I am excited by the technology in the Exilis Elite because we are now able to treat the face, neck, jowls, arms, knees, thighs and back fat as well as the abdomen. Some of these areas have been difficult, if not impossible, to treat in the past with our other non-invasive technology.
